Enchi Male? Very Little Reduced Patterning...
I got this guy on Sunday. I had planned to get a BP, but wasn't very knowledgeable about different morphs. I just liked my guy and didn't even know what an enchi was. The guy selling him had to explained the traits, telling me about the yellow/golden thing but not about the reduced pattern thing... possibly because this guy doesn't seem to have much of a reduced pattern or possibly just because he was busy. My guy seems patterned pretty normally to me, with a lot of spots up top. I paid $125 for him, just because I liked him, especially his nice, chocolatey blushing on the spine, but I'm not so sure he'd be a great guy to breed or whatever if I did that in the future. I mean, is he an okay example of the enchi morph? Having just started with BP, there are several morphs I have trouble discerning apart, and since I don't have a normal to put him side to side with, I have a hard time telling with this dude. He looks more yellow/golden in natural light, but in a cage he looks much browner. Obviously color is hard to catch in images, but pictures are below! Thanks for your help.

Yeah, that's what I was feeling once I got home and researched it. Especially since I contacted the breeder who sold him to me to find out his hatch date and they replied they would have to ask because he was born at their friend's house... So I'm not certain the people who sold him to be could verify who is mum and dad were. Not that I don't think he's lovely... I'm just not 100% sure he's enchi.

they're not the best pics. I'm not jumping in saying that it's not an enchi. bad pics but it could be an low grade enchi.

I don't see Enchi in that snake. Enchi's have a golden color, and a reduced, banded pattern. Like this-
If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.

Not all enchis are reduced, just the ones that most people prefer. Get another 100 grams on him and take new pictures in natural light (outdoors), and ask again. Brand new enchi hatchlings can be pretty "ugly", IMO.

I am going against the grain and saying it looks enchi to my eyes. The first two pics show it, the third pic is crapola.
Either way, not the best looking enchi I have seen.
